Clutch bleed / CMC CSC help
i had to take my car out today and it ended up snowing a few inches. i felt my pedal become lighter throughout the day but didnt think much about it. my integra still starts no problem (manual bypass). i tried bleeding it earlier and fluid came out of the bleeder valve when i loosened it but now nothing is coming out.
loosen -> depress clutch -> tighten -> clutch up
multiple times. reservoir is still full. my clutch has zero pressure left from my early bleeding and cant get any pressure anymore
what is going wrong?

When you bleed your clutch line, you're supposed to open the bleeder screw (with tube going down into a container of fluid) and then pump the clutch pedal several times until the reservoir is nearly empty. You can just refill the reservoir (don't let it run dry) and keep pumping until all air bubbles are gone from the bleeder tube. Then close it back up.
Can you post what you did to fix it?

bad news i parked in a private property even talking to the manager about my problem, he threatened to have it towed if it wasn't out in an hour or two. i had a 3/8 wrench (i believe you can also use an 8 mm), water bottle, some shoptowels.
first, located the bleeder valve. it is located near the transmission and header with a little nipple poking out, which has a nut.
if your clutch has lost all pressure, make sure it is NOT depressed and in its regular position. with your pedal up, loosen the bleeder valve. a few turns should be enough, don't remove it. this is where i placed a water bottle on it to catch old fluid that will come out.
head back into the car and push the clutch to the floor (mine already lost all pressure so here you could use a friend if your clutch still has pressure). leave the clutch on the floor, tighten the bleeder valve, and check your reservoir to make sure it's always full (it's the smaller one by driver strut/firewall). then with the valve tightened, pull the clutch up and pump it about 20-30 times. repeat this process until your clutch comes back alive. took me some time by myself.
i was rushed to figuring this out by myself for the first time and everything worked out. hope this helped anyone having problems with your clutch.
